Greek Words and a Yellow Hat

“I’m not growing parasites here.”

“I’m training LEADERS here…”

“Are you sleepy St. John? Stand up… Give me five!”

“Am I speaking Greek?”

“Always wear your yellow hat, people.”

“Am I speaking too fast?”

And the most ever famous words…

“ok class, FIRST FIVE!!!”

These are the phrases that we’ve been hearing in our Chemistry class for the past 1^st and a half quarter. 1^st meeting of Chemistry class. Seatwork agad! All about significant figures and scientific notations. 2^nd meeting. Dun namin nakilala ang teacher na nakasalamin at smart-looking [hehe] in the person of MS. JOYMIE ORBE. A teacher with great thoughts to share for all her students, a teacher who seriously disciplines her students, making them transform into RESPONSIBLE LEADERS in the future, a teacher who whole heartedly teaches what she knew to everyone with great dedication and excellence.

As a student, I never met any female teacher like Ms. Orbe who disciplines her students well and at the same time bring laughs and smiles to them, indeed a teacher with a great sense of humor. J

As an average student with average learnings, di rin ako nakakasabay sa favorite portion ng St. John na FIRST FIVE with Ms. Orbe, but like what she said, it’s ok not to be given points for that, as long as YOU UNDERSTAND IT, that time nung sinabi niya sa’min yun, I said to myself “I was never a slow-learner, I was never DULL.” This teacher inspires me more to study hard and never give up on NUMBERS.

The past weeks, nagtataka kami, Ms. Orbe was not attending at our class, more than 3 meetings yata yun… Naiisip ko, a siguro busy masyado o kaya may inaasikaso lang… But last September 18, at exactly 10:30 am, pumasok siya sa classroom ng St. John, and she’s teary-eyed… Pinabalik niya kami sa mga proper seats namin, at doon ako nagtaka, ‘tsk.nu kaya sasabihin ni Ms. Orbe? kinakabahan ako…’

Hanggang sa sinabi na niya ang dahilan... Aalis na siya’t lilipat sa Cavite with her family. I FEEL DEVASTATED. WE ALL FEEL DEVASTATED in what we’ve hear from her… Heavy drama ang nangyari sa classroom, ang hirap pang i-elaborate. But the bottomline: we never wanted her to leave… Oh well, kahit papano naman we have great and memorable times with her in our Chemistry class.

We will never forget her ‘greek words’, we will never forget her strategy for keeping us alive in her subject. We will never forget all my rushing classmates holding their pink notebooks just to be included in the first five. And lasty, we will never forget those HATS…

On the second meeting she said the meaning of black and yellow hat and promised that on the last day, she’ll reveal the other hats remaining… Now that she’ll be leaving…

Pano na yung iba pang kulay ng mga hats??? :))

Alone. Raining.

I just can't help but to think of any other person but YOU.

I just can't help but to smile remembering YOU.

-but, so much for being a hopeless romantic, haha-

more on MY LIFE.

This day isn't really great at all. I dunno why some people are just so insensitive to know what you really feel. If only that person knew the reason behind I just remain silent, smiling in front of that person and my other classmates. It is just merely a JOKE, that's all. I dunno if I got the problem. I dunno IF YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Sometimes it just irritates me seeing you boast, seeing you hurt me..

well, I don't wanna talk more about this and I just want you to now that one thing's for sure...



YOU WILL NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ME.

After Sickness [??? what a title!!!]

It's TIUsday [ahahaha, jase 'need to see this!!!]

Oh well, naalala ko tuloy.
Last night, I was watching Dalja's Spring, ngayon ko lang narealize na cute din pala yung leading man ni Dalja, si JAKE [ok tnx to ACE a.k.a CHRIS]. Ayon, so after ng Dalja's Spring, Ripley's na pala, and I saw Chris Tiu [JASE! this is for U!], I gain NO INTEREST at all so I decided to turn off the television and sleep!

THE END! -haha, JASE!!! NO INTEREST AT ALL!!!-

Moving onto this blog, naisipan ko lang na mag-post ulit ng panibago dahil ngayon lang ako ulit nakapag-ol dahil ang pesteng UOD ng bayan ay tinigdas, haha, tama ang nakita niyo aking minamahal na mga kapatid, TINIGDAS AKO... At absent ako for one day [sana lang pwede na kong pumasok bukas!], and I missed a lot of fun, well ISA lang naman........... SOCIAL LANG NAMAN!!! --my FAVORITE subject ever!!!-- So feeling ko andami ko talagang namiss dahil sa tableau na ginawa nila... :[ Sayang, I wasn't there because my group got the second highest score!!! [shala!] Hay, anyways, hindi lang pala ako ang namumukod tanging absent, also PARENG jemuelle [haha, yes, naranasan ding maging loner ni PAMELA!!! wuhu!!]

Before akong magkasakit, nag-ol pa ko just to study HASTA LA ETERNIDAD [kelangan kasi e]. Malulunod na ko sa mundo ng Internet, di ko pa rin nakikita ung alto part sa multiply account ni Kuya Jonathan [our new trainor, Sir Anthony leave because of a competition, soon be returning!!!]... On the other side, kabisado ko na yung version ni Lani Misalucha, ang nag-iisang pyesang nakita kong pwedeng ipatugtog sa account niya, haha. Hasta La Eternidad was composed by Rose del Rosario - CHESTER'S aunt [chester is my classmate, at part din ng glee club!! akalain mo yun!!!], and it is a song about love! Maganda siyang pyesa, so if you wanna check out the song, visit Kuya Jon's account @ www.choirb0y.multiply.com [yung 'o' sa boy, it is a NUMBER, so zero un]

Fortunately, medyo ok na ko ngayon. Still, there are some red spots on my arms and feet, sa totoo lang ang hirap talagang magkasakit!!! I miss our practical test in music and I miss our tableau presentation, hay, for sure, I'll be doing a special project... Well, I'll gladly do all of this FOR THE LOVE OF SOCIAL!!!!!!

I was doing our project in tle, then ng pm si jab, medyo nagkakwentuhan. Nagtanong siya, 'abby, pde nmng COFFEE paste dba?', and presto! Benta ung joke ni jab!!! Wala lang, nakwento ko lang. [haha, tas may pahabol pa siya, 'pde ring copy faste!' haha. BENTA JAB!!!]

I should be posing a new entry all about my batchmates' fancy GMs, hehe. Unfortunately, di ko nadala ung copy kaya ito, next time na lang!!! I will also post some pick-up lines na pinadala ng aking pinsan through text, haha. Ayon, katuwa lang talaga.


Quote to share:[ 'ahaha, parang si Chun!']
"Don't let anyone bring you down, remember, you got wings to fly..."


[sorry sa typo!!!]

Unwanted Perfection

Boring. It's my free time to do and post another blog here.
It's been a very tiring day. PRACTICE. DEFENSE. STUDY.
Doon lang umiikot ang bawat araw ko, seldom chatting with friends on phone, a certified loner geek.

Well, I'm very happy that at last! After a long defensing about our IP, Ms. Orbe approved it! Wow, we're very lucky. [topic: AVOCADO SEEDS AS RAT KILLER]


But still, hindi lang un ang pinagkakaabalahan ko. I still have LOTS of things to do. Let's get it started!!! [xet. STRESS! BURST!]
> SOCIAL : tableau [HINDU CIVILIZATION] Aug. 19
- no improvement

> RELIGION: personal growth banner Aug. 11
- acetate na lang kulang!!! yey!!!

> FILIPINO: sarbey Aug. 19
- so far, Pius pa lang at John. Kulang pa ng 15 sheets of surveys... [agnes, san lo and mof]

> RELIGION [ulit]: clippings [about social problems] Aug. 11
- na magpahanggang nagyon ay nalilito pa rin ako kung iisa lang pa ung theme ng bawat clippings o iba-iba!!!

> MUSIC: video :] [us as playing the ever-magnificent drums!!! wahaha] Aug.19
- at buti na lang may drumset sa bahay si Margie!!!


So far, yan lang yung natatandaan kong nakasulat sa classroom namin. So BUSY. So CRAMMING ang gagawin ko!!!


oppps!!!
I've forgotten something...


CHEMISTRY: INVESTI [Parts 1 and 2]

when???


AUGUST 11!!!


What a very great deadline!!! O di ba, talagang cramming ito!!!
It's not easy to make an IP.


Haha. I almost suffer from severe hemmorage knowing that WE MUST KNEW [and MEMORIZE!] the PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS w/ its oxidation number [haha, oxidation nga ba un????] Darn. I come to think that still, there are many people taking up Chemistry [e nakakadugo ata ng utak yun e!!!] Well, they're just plain nerds... GENIUS masyado [haha, PEACE CHEMISTS!!!]

But whether I like or not [huhu, I BETTER LIKE IT!] I MUST memorize the PTE...



Examination week is getting closer but still, I'm not that prepared for the exam. Parang masyado pa atang maaga para mag-exam, cause I notice that still, spme of our teahers are budgeting the time just to discuss the other lessons remaining [and is part in the quarterly exam]

I wish I was perfect. I wish I was a GENIUS. I wish I can ESCAPE.

'patay tayo dyan!!!', ika nga sabi ng pare kong si Jemuelle.


madugong CHEM. kakalitong TRIGO. kakahilong GEOM.
[tsk. social na nga lang ata matino e! haha]


[sorry for some typo, kung MERON man, di ko nadouble check.]
[about the title. haha. bakit yun ung title? haha. WALA AKONG MAISIP NA MATINONG TITLE, kaya yun na lang. hehe]


{legend.love.-waaah, nakalimutan ko na ung isa!!!}

Good Messages!

GM, GM, GM.

Everyday there will never be a time that people listed on my phonebook are sending GM or what we called GROUP MESSAGES [pero sabi ni sir Flores GOOD MESSAGES daw yun!]

At dahil sayang yung mga GM nilang magaganda, I decided to file them in my inbox and try to post them here!!!


"Somewhere between heartaches and waiting comes another chance to be found by someone who can show you that you don't deserve to be just an option, but only the choice..."

-Valerie-

"Everything's negative, pressure-challenge-is all an opportunity for me to rise..."

-Ace-

"I gave up the right love at the right time in the right place.. but I always end up saying.. maybe she's not the one."

-Harold-

"It really hurts everytime seeing you with somebody."

-Harold-

"I want someone who makes my heart beat faster.. I want someone who makes time stand still.. I want someone who will be there.."

-Laverne-

"You're the one who's giving me the will to make my everyday right!"

-Harold-

"You could always close your eyes to the things you don't want to see.. But you can never close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.."

-Florence-

"I don't know what I'm doin', where I'm goin' and where I'm gonna end up.. All I know right now is that I want you to be at my side every step of the way I'll be journeying of.. Sometimes we become happy with unseen effort, for unknown reasons and in unexpected ways. I don't know what, why or how but YOU came and I was glad. "

-Chey-

After all, LOVE MATTERS.

:]

Expect the Unexpected

July 25, 2008. St. James the Great Day. A big feast in SJA, obviously merong Holy Mass in honor of St. James, unfortunately.... HINDI KAMI FREE DAY di tulad ng sa Grade School!!! [DAYA!!!] Hay, pero ok na rin kasi shortened period!!!

Holy Mass. Medyo ok naman yung performance ng Glee Club. Haha, habang naghohomily si Father, pinangdilatan ako ng mata ni Sir Flores!!! Hahaha, nag-uusap kasi kami ni Kharla, haha, after that, na-trauma ako, LESSON LEARNED: I'll never dare to talk to someone again whenever we will celebrate a Holy Mass!

After that, they announced the winners of Painting Contest and On the Spot Essay Writing Contest... This time, HINDI NA KO NAG-EEXPECT NA MAKAKAPASOK AKO...


But as Mr. Zap is announcing the Junior winners on the essay contest, nagulat ako, I heard him say "And another from III - St. John, Silent A.!!!"[Silent A. is my pen name, dapat kasi hindi namin iexpose yung identity namin, so we need to have pen names!] Back to the story, after hearing my pen name being said, I was so surprised! Naramdaman ko na lang yung sarili kong tinutulak nila Keene at Kharla paakyat ng stage! Wow! I feel so happy and proud of myself, kasama ako sa Top 10!!! My other classmates Gian, Sandra and Mae are also included in the Top 10!!! But the most surprising part is when they announced the champion per year level, and fortunately, I'm the champion... I feel so strucked! After that I said to myself, 'magsusulat na lang ako forever kesa mag-extempo!'... hahaha!!!

After that, andami ng nag-congratulate sa kin. Ang ewan ng feeling, halos lahat ng ka-batch mo masaya para sayo, haha, lalo na ang III - ST. JOHN!!! [hahaha]
Up to now, I still can't explain this feeling! Ang saya ko, this is my first ever inividual award and now I come to realize that WRITING IS REALLY MY PASSION[ahem! xempre besides SINGING!!!] and that inspires me more write because I'm expressing my thoughts and at the same time I'm helping others.

My point is, DON'T BE AFRAID TO WRITE.
There won't be any wrong thoughts because it is YOUR WAY.
:]

[thanks sa lahat ng mga bumati. especially: eunice, glodas, shalee, keene, jase, fatima, pauline, mga teahchers, shaider and the rest of III-ST.JOHN, lara and anthony...-sa mga di namentioned THANKS!!!]

d-r-a-m-a mode

Wondering why this is my title???

Nah, nvm! Wala kasi akong maiisip na title sa new entry ko, fortunately ito ung nasabi ng utak ko, so go!!!

hahaha, I've been saving this draft for almost a week, haha!!


At dahil medyo weird and mga kilos ko ngayon, kelangan kong magsulat ng blog, dahil free time ko!

I've been acting weird this past few days, at hindi ko rin alam kung bakit! I want to get rid of A PERSON I ONCE LOVED... o diba, ang drama talaga. But the more I try to escape, the more I feel the need NOT TO ESCAPE. At hindi ko rin alam kung bakit, sometimes I think na siguro masyado na kong nagpapakamartyr[a formal term for 'nagpapakatanga'] sa taong mahal ko. I always think that maybe he's really not my type at all.

That person never fails to make me smile when I'm on my bad day.
He never fails to make me laugh in the things he's said whenever we met on corridors.
That person never fails to make me run after hi because of those irritating things he've said.
He never failed to make me fall for him again and again.

:((
I never wanted to feel this way.Because this damn thing I'm feeling is hard to avoid, hard to escape, REALITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT, reality has always been hurtful to me.

I never wanted to continue this because I'm losing the true me, bumabalik na naman ako sa dati: tanga at walang pakialam. AND I DON'T WANT TO BE BLIND FOR LOVE. I MAYBE I NEVER WISH IT.


Sana hindi na lang siya lumalapit...

The Unforgettable July 12

July 12. I wake up early in the morning with a big smile on my face.
Wu Chun is going to be here! - I said to myself.

I'm so excited seeing him! And so I waited until Entertainment Live airs...

DAMN. Chun and Calvin are very cute and Bianca and Toni [hosts of Entertainment Live] are very lucky because they'll see them personally!!! Oh, anyways, just seeing him by a long time on television, I FEEL CONTENTED!!! [haha, ganun ako kababaw.]

Well, I deciced to record ther interview on my mom's phone, unfortunately, it was just a sound clip, but it's okay! AS LONG AS I HEAR THEIR VOICES!!! ;]

So, here it is!


Bianca: But for the both of you, what do you prefer more, acting or singing ang performing?
Chun: Acting or singing...Acting??? Both acting and singing.
Calvin and Chun: Both. Both acting and singing
Calvin: [laughs] Yeah. We're both singers and actors.
Chun: I think we love both!
Calvin: When singing, we just stand, face to face and we can see their love...
Chun: Yeah.
Toni: Can we hear a sample?
Bianca: We know you're going to be live on Pinoy Dream Academy.
Toni: Yes, PDA later, mga kapamilya, nandyan din po sila!
Bianca: Just a sample, one or two lines, just a short line, cause everyone's asking!
Chun: Yeah. A program... [laughs] You can't wait for tonight?!?
Bianca: No! We can't wait. Just one or two lines!
Toni: Go!
Calvin and Chun: Gan shou bu yi xing rong. Jiu suan hui you yi dian tang tu ye yao shuo. Qing ban jing wo de xin wo. Ru guo bu xin fu zai li jia chu zou. Wo xin wo zuo ni de xin wo. Ye xu ping shuo xia tai guo. Shen zhi hui yong ji dao. Zhi zhuang de xia ni wo... Wow!
Toni: Wow! They just know your song!
Bianca: Yes, patikim pa lang po yan, more tonight on Pinoy Dream Academy live!
Toni: Yes, so once again let's talk about your background naman because Wu Chun, you studies in Australia and Calvin, you studied in Canada but you pursue the showbiz career in there, what has been your dream before you went in showbusiness? For the both of you...
Calvin: Because there was a contest held by Comic Productions Company and we have a chance to go back and shoot a drama and I know Meteor Garden was really popular in Taiwan so I think maybe I have the chance to go back and shoot the drama, luckily I won and come back in Taiwan.
Bianca and Toni: Wow!
Toni [to Chun]: What about you? From a business man, you're an actor now?
Chun: Actually I think, ummmm.....
Toni: Have you always wanted to be an actor?
Chun: No no no no...
Bianca: So it wasn't your dream...
Chun: I just want to challenge myself, you know, I'm trying to do things which I don't do in the past so, yeah .
Toni: We can't wait what you will do next.
Bianca: Yeah.
Chun: Yeah. [laughs]
Bianca: And this is the question that everyone has been waiting for.
Toni: Yes!
Bianca: Especially the girls,
Toni: The girls!
Chun: Haha, what kind of question?
Bianca: Do you guys have your girlfriends or are you both single?
Chun: Girlfriend.
Calvin: Girlfriend?
Chun: What do you guys think? [laughs]
Toni: We think 'no'! Well they're [the audience] all willing to be your girlfriend.
Chun: Really. Really!
Toni: Who wants to be their girlfriends?
Bianca: See, everyone!
Chun: Actually we don't think we have the time for that because our working schedules are very full.
Toni: Which means you guys are still single?
Calvin and Chun: [laughs]
Toni: Yes?
Calvin and Chun: Yeah!
Toni: What's your message to all your Filipino fans?
Chun: Actually, we are very surprise you know, when we know there are many supporters in the Philippines and I really hope we'll come back very soon.
Toni: What about you Calvin?
Calvin: I'm just really happy for the warm welcome, cause ummm... whenever we go to a place at the first time, we feel very nervous, we don't know how namy people know about us and today from the airport, to the hotel, and to the tv station... I think we just see many supporters and we will definitely come back here again!
Toni: We will mark your words ha!
Bianca: You're always welcome here on Entertainment Live!
Chun: We also want to thank ABS-CBN for giving us the chance...
Calvin and Chun: Thank you. Thank you all!!!


This interview is very cool!
The audience were howling and I can really feel their love for Wu and Calvin! [hahaha, especially the GIRLS!!!]


Previously on PDA last night, they also performed the Romantic Princess OST, Xin Wo which is originally sung by S.H.E and Fahrenheit. Well, it's not really a surprise to know that some of their fans from Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan, flew over the Philippines just to see them too!!! Well, I'm very very happy that they visited the Philippines! Wo ei ni, Wu Chun!

[two down.two to go!!!]

A Pitiful Girl's Cry [It's Always Been You]

Away from noise. Away from distraction. A silent room filled with endless vibrations and a dim and small light. Everytime I always think how to get rid of this feelings FOR GOOD. All this time I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY. Maybe it's still you. I miss everything. And that's my main agenda: TO FORGET ALL THOSE MEMORIES AND LEAVE THEM AS A TRASH. Because I always know that you never care. I always know that you never feel the same way and that's my great great great foolishness: TO FALL FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

At first I've never felt this joy in my life whenever we're together. Those great and memorable bondings we had. Those laughs and serious talks. Everytime, everytime I think of those I kept on developing this feeling called LOVE. Until such time that I became so foolish that I forget my duties and responsibilities. You are the reason why I became iresponsible. But still, I never avoide this feeling because deep deep inside I feel happiness and great joy, I feel the time stops, I feel my heart beating fast, I feel this unexplainable feeling, I feel CONTENTED.

Sometimes I feel that you feel it too. Sometimes I feel that we are meant to be. Sometimes I feel that destiny binded us together. So exaggerated, right? And that is really what I called LOVE.

But all those great times will soon vanish like a great history. Those times, those great times were so cherish that I forget that there is this thing we called time, cuz for me when we are together I never felt time ends. But now, a bitter reality, a sad ending, this good days will just remain a part of my memory, a part of my unforgettable past...


I said to myself, "move on", and I believe it was very successful, I seldom think of you. But when that time came, I never thought that...

Things do change and I do believe that you've change.

Me? I NEVER change. It's just that IT IS DIFFERENT.
We never get a change to talk like yesterday, we never laugh together just like yesterday, and we never made any moment together. Yes, yes, I always know that we can't be like that of yesterday, but I always hope that someday you'll realize my importance to you. That someday you'll learn the meaning of CARE. That someday we will be like that again and forget bitter memories...

Now, I think that we're getting better, you've achieved one of your dreams and I've always been here, watching you pursue your dreams, watching you smile, watching you talk, watching your eyes met mine... [and watching that very simple but meaningful keychain I've gave to you-ATTACHED TO YOUR BAG]


Now I come to realize, after all this denials, I say, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU.


[hahaha.JULY12.TOMORROW IS THE DAY!!!]

My BLOODY Heels...

Hahahaha, it's been a very tiring day for me and my little pitiful feet!!!


Wednesday night I started looking for a pair of heels, luckily I don't have to spend my money because my cousin let me borrow her heels. When I try those on, I feel unease and at the same time happy, why? BECAUSE I GET TALLER!!! [that's the great advantage in wearing heels, but the most disadvantage is............. FEET ACHE. hahaha....] Well, going back to my bloody story, after trying the heels, my cousin keeps on teasing me!!! Damn, haha, kakairita nga e, because she knew in the first place I don't like wearing those kind of footwear...

After it, I went home and show it to my other cousin, Ate Chat wants me to try it again, as a very OBEDIENT younger cousin, haha, I follow her. Sabi niya bagay daw sa'kin, [sus] after hearing that, haha, KINILABUTAN AKO!!! Nakakatakot. But after some hours, haha, I try my heels on again at nag-practice maglakad sa bahay, hahaha, preparation for Thursday!!!



TODAY IS THE DAY.

P.E. - 1:40 - 2:30!!!

For almost 1 HOUR naming suot yung heels!!! Akalain mo yun!!! Ang sakit sa paa.
Nga pala, the reason why we are obliged to wear those because of our practice for WALTZ [123,123,123,123!] because by next week we will have our VERY LAST [I hope it is really the LAST!] practical test about WALTZ. And this is the catch: with matching SEMI-FORMAL GOWN AND HEELS!!! [pamatay talaga!]

During the practice I'm really unease!!! Buti na lang andyan sila Bryan at Chester [my groupmates] to make me smile. [Naku, ikaw kaya magsuot ng heels tas halos 1 hour na nagpapractice magsayaw sa MAINIT na roofdeck, TINGIN MO MAKAKATAWA KA?!]

Anyways, ayon, medyo may nabuo naman, may mga konti pang babaguhin sa mga counting an steps... Hahaha...



Decide whether this is still related to my p.e. class or not...
[hahaha]


After he dance with me, I feel a little spark, whenever I met his eyes, I feel this unexplainable feeling, damn, I don't like this!!! [iba e.iba na talaga.ewan.!]

Sana di ko nalang yun naramdaman.
Sana di ko nalang siya nakasayaw.
Sana di ko nalang siya kaklase.
[mga di inaasahang bagay....mga di maipaliwanag....piste!!!]

END OF THE STORY.

[A-10-SHUN: wuchun-JULY12-14]

memories./part 1/

[ayeee, ayeee]

Hahaha, great thing, wala ako masyadong ginagawa kaya as usual, I'll post another entry here.
Well, this is all about my memories, haha, great! I got pix to post in here too and I'll try my best to tell you each story.

Flatrock.Roxas.Capiz/

Wuhu! Flatrock in Roxas City is great! [Ahem] It was during our sembreak last year and unfortunately, hindi ako nag-enjoy noong mga panahon na ito! So I decided to relax and take pictures... [tsk, sayang di ako nakapag-swimming!]

Ayos. I was with Jayjay Helterbrand! I totally love Ginebra. Fortunately, nung papunta kami sa Capiz kasabay namin sila sa airplane, saya di ba?! Hahaha, and this picture is actually my dad's birthday gift to me... [haha, why? too long to explain!]

At dahil probinsiya, tahimik talaga, so me and my brother stay mostly on our tita's room. Ang totoo niyan, maganda yung bahay, pero underconstrution, so mas pinili kong magkulong sa kwarto kesa maalikabukan sa labas. Well, dahil si papa ay naasar sa'min, ayon, pinagtripan kami ng kapatid ko dahil ayaw naming lumabas. Hahaha! Luckily, I escaped!

Time flies so fast and we have to get back in Manila [tsk, tapos na ang maliligayang araw ko!]. Well, ako lang yung may masayang mukha dito no! Hahaha, well still, naging ok naman ung bakasyon ko. Cuz I was with my FAMILY.

Jack the ENGLISH QUEEN.Chat the TALKING NURSE.

Whenever I'm bored, my cousins are there to cheer me. Whenever I'm so serious my ate JACK is always there to speak her OWN ENGLISH [hahaha, kung mabasa man niya to, NOSEBLEED yun! haha]. And whenever I need someone to talk to, ate CHAT's lecture about nursing isn't missing [haha, kaya pag nagpunta siya sa min, kulang na lang tawagin ko siyang professor!!!].

First up, picture naming magpipinsan sa simbahan [haha, oha, sa simbahan pa!] nung binyag ng baby ni Ate Alyn, my second cousin. From the left: syempre ako, then ate Jack who is currently taking first year college [HRM] in UE Caloocan, and my ate Chat who is a graduating student [Nursing] in MCU. Haha, halata bang kalog sila??? The room is always filled with laughter kapag nandyan sila, syempre pareho nang may mga boyfriend tong dalawa so they are close to each other...

Siyempre after the Baptismal Ceremony diretso sa kainan! We are at Boy Ching Woo in Concepcion [di ako sure, haha] and the funny thing is nasa tapat kami ng CR, hahaha, buti na lang wala masyadong pumunta dun! :]

At siyempre pagkatapos ng kainan, uwian na... Pero hindi pa!!! We are on are way to Trinoma dito sa picture na 'to, haha, at dahil may budget ako, ako ang nang-aya na pumunta kami dun!!!

Topak. Baliw. Ganyan kami sa Trinoma, sa sobrang tuwa ko sa plant [na hindi ko naman alam ang pangalan] ay pinicturan kami ni Ate Jack sa garden. Hahaha. Tamang trip ang tawag dito! Yeah.

At dahil wala silang budget, ayoko namang gumastos mag-isa so we decided to stay in the garden... Ayon, picture-picture na lang kami... Then we're off...

And It's the SECOND Week...

Wow. It's my second week stay at III-St. John.
And so far, so good!

I'm starting to like my new section, I feel welcome and our adviser is not the one that I'm thinking before I met him. I just hope this won't change!!!

Well, as usual. Candidate ako bilang officer. I really can't escape responsibilities... Tama nga siguro si Sir Rivera sa sinabi niya, that once you step in the room, there will be RESPONSIBILITIES!!! I hate responsibilities [pero I've been an officer since 1st year!!!], but up to now I still don't know why they want me to be what I don't want to be. Maybe it's because... nah!!! Nevermind, it takes a lot of explanation regarding this... :]

I feel great that I find a time in posting another entry in my blog. I've been busy lately! Since the first day! Since then, I also stay up late at night...keeping myself busy. haha.

So much for that!!!

Let's talk about my classmates...

III-St. John. My first impression: maingay, makukulit, at PASAWAY.

Now I come to realize: ANONG SECTION BA ANG HINDI MAINGAY, MAKULIT, at PASAWAY? Even those in the star section also has these characteristics a 'normal' teen have, hahaha. . .And it's true!!!

Ok ang St. John. Hahaha, sa ngayon hindi pa masakit sa ulo ang mga ingay namin, hahaha, sa ngayon, hindi pa kumukunot ang ulo ko... At yun ay isang malaking SA NGAYON!!! Because I believe that as time flies, lalabas din ang totoong kulay nila, magiging hyper at super ingay, so that means it's to the next level!!!

Well, come to think of it, ganun na talaga ang mga teens ngayon, hindi masasaway, hahaha, kasi kahit ako e, hindi rin masaway... :]

We can't change what's meant to be. We can't change what's called DESTINY.


Third year is far far different from the previous years, and I pressume, this will be ONE of my CHALLENGING years in St. James. [Because 4th year is the MOST CHALLENGING!!!]
So I will set my goal and be organized. I will change my attitude that will be a hindrance towards my studies. And lastly, I WILL FOCUS MORE ON STUDIES!!! [not HEART.not LOVE]


[chun is sooo great.]

My FIRST Assignment...

hahahaha, it's my first day of school!

and here's my first assignment!!!

Insight: A Student’s View About Following Rules


Since first year, I was already oriented about the rules and regulations, the do’s and don’ts and the objectives of HS community here in SJA. So sometimes I really get bored whenever they always repeat the rules and regulations ALL OVER AGAIN!!! I always say to myself that I have my own handbook to review all the rules in SJA, I always ask myself why teachers and advisers must always do that to us every year…

Fortunately as I grow and become more mature, I know why they always keep on reminding the students about the rules and regulations. It’s because as time passes, students tend to forget all the do’s and don’ts of the school and often commit offenses which becomes an agony to the teachers. Why? Because they make a hard effort putting on our minds the rules of the school, they make a lot of efforts because they want us Jamers to be what they’ve always wanted: Maka-Diyos, Maka-Tao, Maka-Bayan, Maka-Buhay at Maka-Kalikasan. They want Jamers to be the best models of our chaotic society…

And the best way to further understand the rules is by reading the SJA’s Student Handbook. This consists of all the rules and regulations of St. James Academy, and a lot of things about the school. Its main concern is to fully understand the regulations of the school even if you are at home. Every Jamer has a Handbook and I, for one, have too. And sometimes I read it because it is helpful for me, as a growing student, it is my guide to be more obedient and

Rules and regulations are very important because it makes the world orderly and well-organized. Sometimes, I think that there are so many rules to follow, sometimes I feel like a robot for always obeying those rules, I feel like rules are taking over my life. And literally, I think they were… Because of those rules and regulations I’ve become a good and responsible Jamer, so it is good that the administration gives the right sanction for every offense a student will make so that he will learn his lesson… It is not that rules almost take over your life, it’s just that in life, there are also a lot of rules to follow.

If you’re a smart person, you will obediently follow those rules to make you a better person. And I, as a Jamer believes that SJA gives a lot of effort just to make students be responsible and discipline, and not to make the Jamers a big problem in the society in the future. I’m happy that they are really serious in implementing such rules and regulations so that as a young, we will be guided and we will learn lots of good things and that in this world, rules is the main key to achieve PEACE AND ORDER.

Memories. . .

As usual, I was bored and I can't sleep because of the intense heat, hahaha, ayokong magkulong sa kwarto, it feels like I'm in hell so I started to watch 'The Late Show with David Letterman' on ETC... Boring pa rin, so I decided to switched it off and go to my room. Suddenly I found a long bond paper in my bed, it is an article I made for St. Albert - my 2nd year section [Ang Salitang "Unity"]. So since I'm bored and got nothing else to do, I planned to put my article here on my blog... I'm still missing St. Albert, and just can't get enough! [hahaha]

Ang Salitang "Unity"

June 13, 2007. Excited akong pumasok sa eskwelahan para malaman kung sinu-sino ang mga kaklase ko at para makita rin kung magandang section ang napuntahan ko. Masaya. Dahil nagkita-kita kami ng mga kaibigan ko. Excited. Dahil gusto kong makilala ang magiging adviser ko sa buong school year. At mainit. Masikip dahil siksikan sa corridor ang karamihan ng mga estudyante dahil sarado pa ang ibang classroom...

Moment of truth.

Pumasok ang isang babaeng maliit at tsinita sa classroom namin, nagpakilala siya, siya ang magiging adviser namin... Mabait, maintindihin, responsable at maganda - yan ang mga katangian niya!
:]

Sa isang klase hindi maiiwasan ang hindi pagkakaintindihan ng adviser at ng kanyang mga 'anak'...

Isang buwan pa lang ang nakakalipas at umarangkada kami, nag-ingay, naging pasaway, at nagpagalit ng mga teachers - yan ang ginawa namin na labis na ikinagalit ng adviser namin [nga pla, tawagin na lang nating siyang si 'Chuchay'...]

Ayun, balik sa kwento... Nagalit sa'min si Chuchay at nawalan kami ng adviser... Bilang isang officer sa klase, sobrang nag-alala ako at nagsisisi dahil hindi ko nagawa ng maayos ang responsibilidad ko, wala na kaming pag-asa na mabawi pa si Chuchay...

Yun ang akala ko!

Gumawa kami ng plano para mabawi siya at nangyari yun noong Bibliarasal. Halos bumaha sa classroom dahil sa madramang pangyayari, 'di kasi inaasahan ni Chuchay [salamat nga pala sa bestfriend ni Chuchay na itago na lang natin sa tawag na 'Monster' dahil sa pagtulong niya sa'min!], umiyak din si Chuchay at sinabing hindi niya ginusto ang nangyari, nasasaktan siya pag nakikita niya kaming hindi nakaayos, sa tingin niya ay wala siyang silbi sa amin kaya minabuti niyang makipagpalit pansamantala sa adviser ng star section na tawagin na lang nating si 'Jewel' para daw madisiplina kami.

Pagkatapos ng madramang pangyayari doon nabuo ang salitang UNITY sa classroom namin, simula nun ginagawa namin ang lahat para hindi na siya muling mawalay sa'min...

Yun din ang akala ko.

Dumating ulit sa puntong nagalit na naman siya sa'min pero hindi ganung kalala tulad nang una, ang sabi niya, kung may unity kami bakit daw bumabalik na naman kami sa dati naming 'sakit'. At dahil sa takot na mawala siya ay pinigil namin ang mga bibig na wag dumaldal, ang mga katawan para wag humarot at pinigil din ang pagtulo ng luha dahil sa awa namin kay Chuchay, dahil kahit na makulit at pasaway kami ay hindi niya kami pinabayaan, kahit na alam naming nahihirapan siya ay hindi siya sumukong intindihin at mahalin kami, may UNITY...

46 kami, sa kasamaang palad 'na-evict' ang isa, forced eviction ang nangyari at kailangan naming tanggapin na may mawawala sa munting bahay ni Chuchay; kaya ngayon 45 na lang kami... 45 na buhay, 45 na may iba't-ibang pananaw, paniniwala at iba't-ibang katauhan, kailangan naming magkaisa para hindi mahirapan si Chuchay dahil nag-iisa lang siya, oo, siya ang ULTIMATE BIG SISTER namin [haha] at the same time mother din, isang mabuting ina na hindi sumukong mag-alaga sa kanyang mga anak...

Nasan ang unity doon?

Simula't sapul sinabi na namin na kailangan naming magkaisa para walang magtampo, magalit, umiyak at mag-away, fortunately, kahit na may nangyaring mga ganun, masasabi ko pa ring may unity dahil nagawa naming ibalik sa dati ang magandang relasyon namin... Nabalik ang UNITY...

Kahit na maraming hindi pagkakaunawaan sa Albert, marami pa ring mga magagandang bagay na nangyari sa'min, at marami kaming natutunan sa bawat pagsubok at saya na natamasa namin sa II St. Albert!!!

Merong harmony, meron ding humility pero tandaan lang na walang tatalo sa salitang UNITY!!!

(Pray for us Our Lady of Chesca, esta EDSA pala...)

Rolling Love: Low Ratings?

I was bored so I decided browsing the net and I've visited asianpopcorn.com , where you can find many articles and latest news about your favorite Asian artist [haha, actually I was browsing to find something new about Chun] then this article caught my eye : Rolling Love Looses; Rumoured Fire Basketball

Airs Earlier.

[Fan Gun Ba! Dan Chao Fan]

Rolling Love which stars Jiro Wang as Michelin and Danson Tang as Leng Lei (which also appeared in Taiwanese hit drama, Hana Kimi) and their leading lady, Genie Zhou as Xiao Shu.

Before moving on my reaction, let be give you a very brief synopsis...

Leng Lei, a great and trained chef is widely acclaimed for his perfect cuisines. One day, in a Valentines Day, he decided to confess his feelings to his best friend, Xiao Shu. But unfortunately an accident happened on that day, and Xiao Shu deciced to reject Leng Lei's love because she thinks that he pitied her for what had happened, they remained friends and Leng Lei is taking care of her.

Xiao Shu and her aunt was driving along the road, when all of a sudden the car's engine broke down, that's the time when Michelin, who was on his way to the restaurant saw them and met Xiao Shu. Michelin was also a chef, not as trained as Leng Lei but also cooks very well, infact many of their neighbors are dying to taste his cuisines everyday! Xiao Shu also noticed Michelin's skill in cooking and that's what make them close together...


After reading the articles I was disappointed because I'm also watching Rolling Love and I don't think it is reasonable if they decided to cut the show and replaced it with another hit, Fire Basketball (Hot Shot) which stars two of the most cutest guys in Asia, Wu Chun and Jerry Yan. Jiro and the rest of the cast is really acting well and the plot is very nice. Cutting an episode is not a good idea because the cast worked hard to shoot a scene. I believe some dramas are also experiencing low ratings, so why would they cut scenes immediately? If this is true I feel pity for Jiro because he is one of the main cast and I know it will be a hard time for him... Well, if CTV will just edit some scenes, it will be better because the viewers will get to watch Rolling Love until it reaches the ending. I hope this rumors aren't true... After all, I believe Wu Chun is more famous than Jiro, so let's give him a chance!!! [but im not saying that I hate Chun, of course I LOVE CHUN, let's just give others a chance to shine, ok???] :]


those who have cable at home, let's support Jiro!

These cosmic questions are also jokes!

So let me share some...

Hahaha, unfortunately, that's all they've got...
But if you have that book I believe you're also enjoying reading it!

My Favorite Lines III

Oh yes, here are another set of my favorite lines!!!
Enjoy!!!

"A bell ain't a bell unless you ring it. A song ain't a song unless you sing it. Love in your heart wasn't placed there to stay. Love is not love unless you give it away."

"Don't compare your heart to a river, it is sometimes wide but not too shallow, sometimes it's narrow but not too deep. Let your love be the ocean, unpredictably wide and naturally deep."

"Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it is called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall... YOU JUST FALL."

"I have to tell you something, something that will change everything forever... But I don't know how to tell it to you and won't ever find out..."

"For a while I thought I would never love or hate anyone, but I have come to realize, I have hated and loved the same person."

"Love is like cotton candy, it slowly melts away but leaves the memory of sweetness."

"When friends fall in love, it means that they're meant for each other, but when friends fall out of love, it means they want to keep each other."

Missin' Albert

I just can't believe that few days from now I will officially be a 3rd year student and a part of St. John, my NEW section...

I have mixed feelings.

I'm happy because I will see my friends again and chat with them every recess and lunch break. I will get to see my favorite teachers and greet them with a big smile on my face. But I'm not that really happy on my newest section... I just don't know why I don't feel any excitement entering St. John and meeting a new set of classmates. I don't know why I feel like I'm not lucky like my other friends and previous classmates who is on the other sections...

I'm excited going to school and meet my friends because I missed them a lot, but I'm not that so excited meeting my new classmates...



I guess...






I'M MISSING ST. ALBERT A LOT...

I miss our bondings. Every homeroom filled with many emotions, many noises. I miss Ms. D, my 2nd year adviser. I miss everytime Ms. D and Albert is very fun together. I miss those times when teachers get mad at us. I miss the set of officers, Ches, Clang, Steph, Aris, Anthony and Kim. I miss everytime when the teacher's not around and the class is so noisy and the officers are very angry! I miss collecting payments from my classmates. Hahaha, as a treasurer, I miss shouting at them and begging for them to pay immediately. I miss our room. Which is filled with many memories. I miss my seatmates, Chua who is very talkative! I miss my friends in St. Albert. All the times we've spent happily together. All the tears we've all shed. All the stories we've all shared. All those memories keeps me happy. St. Albert is almost perfect. A section with great combination of students and a good adviser. A section which is admired by teachers because of great talents and smart students. A section who never fails to make a plan whenever there is trouble. A section who never give up. A section who is strongly bonded. A section whom I really cherished a lot...

I miss St. Albert. I miss my classmates.


Now I know why I don't feel anything for my new section, it's because I get used to my old section, I wanted to be in a section which is like St. Albert. Because I always think St. Albert is a perfect one.



Can't get over St. Albert...
